Tromeo & Juliet (1996)
Director: Lloyd Kaufman
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Motorhead's Lemmy is the narrator and stumbles through the verse in this schlock Shakespeare rewrite as lumpenly as the other cast members. Between times, sundry inadequates serve up a menu of body-piercing, decapitation, dismemberment, mutilation, soft-core nudity and lots of coloured goo. Strange that a film with so much carnage should prove so tedious, but that's the magic of Troma (Toxic Avenger) productions.Author: TJ
